Oregon's Wild Harvest St. John's Wort Key Benefits:

• Mood support.

Background & Use

The first recorded use of St. John's Wort (Hypericum) for medicinal purposes dates back to ancient Greece. The word hypericum is derived from the words hyper and eikon, which translate to over and icon — referring to protection from evil demonic spirits. The benefits of St. John's Wort have been known for centuries in Europe, where it is still commonly prescribed. It is only recently that it has become popular in the United States. It is estimated to be the second most commonly sold supplement here.

Studies have shown that hypericin and related bioactive constituents are concentrated in the flowering buds of St. John's Wort. Oregon's Wild Harvest is careful to select only the flowering buds in consideration of this activity. Their trained crew hand harvests the flower buds from high quality plant material in the pristine mountains of northern Washington near the Canadian border.
